The full suite of photos taken on Walter's birthday, is available here.

Yehuda Bock and Diego Melgar published a comprehensive review paper, Physical Applications of GPS Geodesy: A Review, in Reports on Progress in Physics on 23 August, 2016. The report may be viewed and downloaded from: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0034-4885/79/10/106801. It will be free for a limited amount of time.
